It was waiting in Saint Louis!  After a month in Michigan - which we truly enjoyed - we returned home today.  The day we got to Michigan there was a huge snowstorm to welcome us and a great deal of snow on the ground.  By time we left, the snow was long gone, and things had thawed enough for us to get the rest of the leaves off mom and dad's yard that were leftover from the first surprise early snow of last fall.  But everything was still brown and drab and matted down.  But as we drove into our home, Chris and Kat both said at the same time, "Wow, it's so green!"  Anyways, it's good to be home for a short visit before we invade Wisconsin for a couple of weekends.   One praise report to share:  we received word that our immigration paperwork has been received in Botswana.  Sometimes getting there really is half the fun, so we are thankful that it has arrived in the right hands and folks soon will be looking it over.  Take care!
